Shimasta – Satana | The Devil Is in the Punchlines.
When you first hear the title “Satana,” your mind might instantly go dark pitchforks, smoke, and red horns, right? Well, hold that thought! Shimasta is not out here summoning the devil, he’s just calling out people who act like they rent space to him for free!
With “Satana,” Shimasta once again proves why he remains one of Zambia’s most creative and fearless voices in hip-hop. The track is a social commentary masterpiece wrapped in heavy bass, iciBemba wordplay, and his trademark humor. Instead of preaching or complaining, Shimasta uses jokes, metaphors, and relatable street wisdom to make you laugh and think.
On the chorus, he drops the now-iconic line, “In some people’s hearts, Satan is their tenant, and he pays no rent.”
Tell me that’s not genius. That line alone could start a whole sermon, a meme trend, and a family argument all before breakfast.
“Satana” hits with that sing-along energy only Shimasta can deliver. It’s catchy, playful, and addictive the kind of song you can’t help but nod to, even when you’re trying to act serious. The rhythm blends old-school Zambian rap energy with a modern, radio-friendly bounce.
Shimasta switches between wit and wisdom like a man dancing between rain drops never missing a beat, always landing a punchline. Whether he’s teasing “ill-mannered” folks or celebrating the daily hustle, every bar lands with that local flavor only iciBemba rap can carry.
Underneath all the humor, “Satana” is a mirror. It reminds us that sometimes, the biggest devils we face aren’t in hell they’re right here walking among us, smiling, gossiping, and pretending to wish us well. Shimasta’s message is simple: stay alert, stay grounded, and don’t let negativity rent space in your heart.
With “Satana,” Shimasta doesn’t just drop another hit he drops a lesson wrapped in laughter. It’s witty, real, and pure Zambian storytelling. So next time you catch someone acting out, just smile and quote Shimasta.
